The Five Boroughs

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

Manhattan, NY 10022

As luxurious as ever, for almost 40 years Le Cirque has been synonymous with high-glamour dining in New York. Owner Sirio Maccioni's hospitality is legendary, the formal service remains impeccable and the gilded, gold-flecked décor is the perfect setting for rich, classic French presentations like foie gras ravioli or frogs' legs fricassée. For an extra-special experience, dine at the chef's table in the famed Le Cirque kitchen, which includes a 6-course chef's tasting menu for 4–8 people. The restaurant now also offers cooking classes.
